Activity summary

MDGA1 also known as MAM domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 1 is a neural cell adhesion molecule. It weighs approximately 117 kDa and is expressed primarily in the nervous system. Its primary function involves interaction with other cell adhesion molecules influencing cellular signaling and connections. MDGA1 is also known for its expression in the developing brain playing roles in neuronal migration and axon guidance.

Biological function summary

MDGA1 modulates interactions in the nervous system. It acts as part of a complex involved in cell adhesion processes affecting the synaptic organization and function. By modulating these interactions MDGA1 influences neural connectivity and neuronal network formation essential for proper brain development.

Pathways

MDGA1 participates in neural development and synapse formation pathways. It interacts with proteins like neuroligins which are important in synapse establishment and maintenance. By engaging with these pathways MDGA1 plays a role in the regulation of synaptic adhesive dynamics contributing to the overall neural network architecture.

Associated diseases and disorders

MDGA1 shows a connection to autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. Changes in MDGA1 expression or function can impact neuronal connectivity potentially contributing to the manifestation of these disorders. MDGA1's interactions with NLGN1 and neurexins both involved in synaptic organization further link its role to neurodevelopmental conditions emphasizing its importance in maintaining normal cognitive function.
